Well, not quite.
About 3am this morning I was woken up by a bright light coming in from the West through the open ceiling hatch. Most here will know the 'heavens-above' or 'N2yo' sites that give info on the visible passes of various objects floating about above the earth.
This site however was the only one I could find that predicted correctly to the time of 3.05 am

This particular pass was virtually directly overhead and took well over three minutes to complete, however before it disappeared two more objects flew more or less north to south, less than five degrees apart, less bright than the first, taking another three minutes or so to fade into the darkness.
Nasa's own prediction site has some nifty Java application to predict all passes, but on this steam driven laptop, it is rather resource hungry.
